I think it takes a chicken egg 21 days to hatch with or without an incubator... im not sure though.
The above answer is correct. 21 days either naturally by the hen or in an incubator, it makes no difference and cannot be hurried.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on how much time you have to raise the chicks. Some breeds won't go broody and those breeds need another breed to sit or to be incubated artificially.

Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.
